THE VILLA
Welcome to VILLA HELIANTHUS, a Caribbean sanctuary nestled amongst 9 acres
of pasture, cedar and fruit trees in the hills of Mt. Pleasant, Bequia.
Designed by renowned Italian architect Luigi Vietti, the newly renovated four-bedroom villa offers an uninterrupted view of the Caribbean Sea from its terraces, principal rooms and infinity pool.
Mornings begin each day with sunrise over the
untouched islands Balliceaux and Battowia to the east
and sunset reflects off of the island of opulence that is Mustique to the south.
The island of Bequia being a mixture of the two, with it's own unique rhythm!
Helianthus offers unique rental packages to suit our guests requirements.
The enchanting living experience is catered to by a butler, cleaner and driver*.
Understanding that each guests food requirements vary, our butler is equipt with a list of on islands chefs for hire that will provide quality meals (not included in villa rate).
For those looking to bring in their own staff or require more rooms - our newly refurbished single en-suite two bedroom cottage with kitchenette is available at an additional rate.
For those looking for some adventure, there is a trail that goes from the entrance
to the nearby Hope Bay Beach, one of the most secluded and undisturbed beaches on Bequia
- a favourite amongst surfers.
A 10 minute's drive will take guests to some of the best swimming beaches in the country,
including Lower Bay and Princess Margaret Beach, as well as the town center Port Elizabeth and the bars/restaurants that line the Belmont Walkway.
